Forbidden Garden: Reviews & Ratings
Love the food, hot and sour soup is truly hot and sour. The lemon chicken is also a favorite of mine.
Great flavors and service is always good. We've been on a number of occasions with 8+ people and have always been accommodated with little wait time.
Consistently solid food, nice value with the lunch specials in a clean welcoming environment. The atmosphere and service are lovely. I always enjoy lunch here
We really enjoyed our dinner at Forbidden Garden and service was fantastic. We got the pu pu tray, moo shu pork, chicken lo mein and beef & cumin. Def a good option! Our toddler approved also!
There it is! The coveted 3.5 stars. IYKYK. This is my fave Cantonese-style restaurant in Central AR. I would eat here more, but I live in NLR, which is a bit of a drive. My fav things to get here are as follows: Assorted Flavors soup, anything that can be dipped in their right proper table mustard, vegetable egg foo young (with portions so healthy, it's guaranteed lunch the next day), any of the tofu dishes, basil chicken, Szechuan wontons...I haven't had a bad thing ever. I'd recommend starting with some hot tea. Although I've never had bad service here, I feel compelled to say that a lack of understanding other cultures-slash-an overblown sense of entitlement has got some folks in a twist here. Yikes.
